Week 6: Section Views

We can also use the glass

box technique to add an
additional Picture Plane
(PP) to project inclined
surfaces to.
By doing so, we can show
the slanted surfaces true
shape and size.
NOTE:
The new glass plane is
parallel to the surface it
describes just like the
other glass projection
planes.

Heres how to lay out an auxiliary view:
Step 1:
Make a new PP line labeled
1 that is parallel to Line
AD in the FRONT view.
This PP may be placed any
distance from the object
you wish.

Step 2:
Add the other PP lines
as shown so they will
connect to PP 1.
It is always a good idea

to label the PPs as
shown.

Step 3:
Project the end points of
Line AD at a 90 degree
angle from the front
view.

Step 4:
Transfer the distance
from PP to point C in the
TOP view
to its new position from
PP 1 in the auxiliary view.

Step 5:
Connect the new point
C with the projected
line to find point B.
Do the same thing for
points A and D.

Step 6:
Snap your lines in the
auxiliary view to create
its final form.
NOTE: You do not need
to label all points on
your drawing.

Lets now take a look at how we

can show hidden information
using section views..

Section views are used to expose hidden features. When we

open up an object and view interior features, we see them
not as hidden lines, but as object lines.
The Cutting Plane is a flat surface that identifies:

1. Which section of the object is to be shown, and
2. The path of the imaginary cut through the object

Figure A illustrates the

proper technique that
should be used to
show a section view
A. A correctly drawn
section view which
uses both object and
section lines.
B. An improperly drawn
section view where
the hidden lines have
not been replaced
with object lines.
C. A normal multiview
projection of the part.

The Cutting Plane Line:
1. Is used to show
where the object is
being cut
2. Shows the Line of
Sight (LOS) so a
proper section view
can be drawn.
3. Replaces the need to
draw an entire cut-
ting plane
Why is the example

shown on the right
incorrect??

Cutting Plane lines are the heaviest of all lines used in

drafting. They are drawn much like center lines, but have
2 short dashes in them. The arrows on their end show the
line of sight.

Every material has a

hatch line pattern.
Cast Iron can be used
as the generic hatch
line for any material. If
you use this symbol, a
general note should
be added to the plate
to identify the proper
material used in the
part.

Please review images 14.20 through 14.23 to review how hatch

lines are drawn in diverse applications. Here are some general
rules:
1. Hatch lines should never be drawn parallel to the edge of an

object. Always use a slightly different angle so it makes the
object easier to read.
2. If you have large interior areas to hatch, using short hatch lines
around the perimeter is an acceptable practice.
3. If there needs to be notes or dimensions placed inside a

hatched area, leave white space in the center of the hatch
area to add these items.

The full section is the most common type of section view

used.
It is known as a FULL section because the cutting plane
passes through the full length of the object.

Half sections show the interior of an object where the cutting

plane has penetrated only half way through the object.
NOTE:
The cutting plane line may only have one arrow on it.

Broken sections have no cutting plane line and are

used to show a small, localized area of the object.

Revolved section views are used

to show diverse shapes that may
appear in a part.
Here we see that the section lies

on the area it describes and may
be placed on top of object lines,
or be shown as part of a broken
out section to assist whoever is
reading the plate.

Removed sections allow the

sectional view to be placed in another
area of the plate so as not to crowd
other views. All removed views are
labeled on their cutting plane and the
view.

Offset sections use a cutting plane that jogs to pick up

valuable features of the part.
Sectioned assemblies
are used to show
relationships
between parts.
NOTE: The hatching

lines alternate
direction on parts
that are adjacent to
one another.

Drawing styles may sometimes be combined with one

another. Here we see an auxiliary and section view
combined.
